Hi guys,  
I’ve being using win32-utils package, more specifically win32-process.  
I’ve used it windows XP but now I’ve some servers running Windows Server  
2008, and when I execute the  
require ‘win32/process’

I get the following error message:

irb(main):031:0\> require ‘win32/process’  
RuntimeError: GetProcAddress: SetConsoleCommandHistoryMode or  
SetConsoleCommandH  
istoryModeA

```

windows-pr and win32-process are two separate libraries.

gem install windows-pr

windows-pr is currently at release 0.7.2
